LeeB’s u80k Assualt - ***NEW PHOTO PAGE 4 - Sept 06***

Right then...

First off, great to finally see a good set of pics, complete with the cheeky grins I expected...

I'll comment on the photos really anally, so don't get insulted ! I'm nowhere near your standard, you look tiptop.

So, the most muscular photo: Ignoring fat, I think the inner quads and perhaps chest need some work. Traps look great, symmetry is brilliant all over actually (are you fully hairless?)

Front lat spread: lats definitely popping out, again nicely symmetrical, perhaps really need to get behind it in the pose and really really flare those lats?

Side pose: I think calves, triceps and perhaps rear delts need work (?). Hams looking nice

Rear double biceps: Looks like quite a hard pose to hit, i think the definition will come between rear delts and bicep when you lose the fat, so thats not an issue, i think from behind you're not as impressive as in front, just trying to put my finger on why... perhaps its just a case of bringing everything out properly when you cut down. But good thickness and symmetry is also pretty decent.

Rear lats: Funny pose style you got there lee, hehe. I think the V taper is excellent, perhaps more size is needed to the hamstrings, and lats in time. Maybe bring the hands further back to really start flying/flaring out the lats?

overall shape pic: Like the first, shows good symmetry and overall mass, i'm sure you are aware of a few weaknesses, but really looking excellent.

Does your vascularity come up when your BF is lower?

Well done on the pics posted,

Nick

yeah vascularity is always bad when bulking.. i tend to hold alot of water when not eating 100% clean all the time and in general my veins tend to be beneath my fat from what i can tell.. so takes a few weeks of diet for them to be coming through!

youve picked out all the points im working on.. inner thigh, rear tricep, lower chest (inner is actually fine just water/fat hides it), my back is actually one of my better body parts.. it just needs to be thicker lower down, and yes it leans up quite quickly compared to the rest of me!

calves im working on but not pushing too hard at the moment.

rear delts.. they are overpowered by front delts.. so my training is working on this... shouldnt be too hard to fix as my shoulders respond quite qucikly.

hams... great from the side (photos dont do tehm justice actually - after training them they are my fave bodypart lol).. from the rear they need work.. mainly on the inner area.. which im working hard on!

my arms are always watery especially on the outside... when dieting they are the last part of me to separate and harden so i know that once my arms are ready im ready everywhere else too!

and yeah i know all my weaknesses.. and i like to have them pointed out.. i like to be very hard on myself to force myself to work as hard as possible!

and no i dont have much bodyhair.. what i do i shave off apart from the legs!

Wow mate - what can I say. It's hard to give you feedback because you're so f**king self aware.

Lat spread is awesome (the pictures in the magazine didn't really show your back off). Agree about your calves and delts but you've got the matter firmly in hand.

Inspirational pics Lee (pants less inspirational though)

awww... dougie.. you said you wouldnt tell if i gave you half!!!!

after last weeks stomach bug i started eating clean (apart from treats with last meal) on saturday... after 3 days of this i found i was starving 30 minutes after each meal.. so obviously something was amiss...

so i ate larger servings and the hunger has gone!

as a guess id say my original diet was worked out on my muscle mass immediatley post competition... now after a few weeks of bulking i think i need more overall calories... so initially im upping my food intake by increasing chicken portions from 150g to 180g and taking in a few more carbs in the mornings and a few more carbs at lunch too.

at the moment im having 6 plain rice cakes for my mid-morning and mid-afternoon meals (with chicken of course)... these are very dry so hard to eat quickly for me.. with the increased portion sizes of chicken i think itll be hard for me to eat my food quick enough... i technically only get a 15 minute break... so im thinking i may switch carb sources for these two meals to mashed sweet potato.. ill give it a try for a few days and see how it fits in!

it should also provide me with more nutrients than the rice cakes were (as they are basically just rice).

on the home front. both my kids are away with their other parents (my son with his mam and my stepson with his dad) for the week... so me and louise are at a loss as to what to do with ourselves.. (yeah right.. haha)... its nice to have a little space but i miss my boys when they are not around!

and how has louise decided to spend tonight? porno nurses outfit? NO.. were going up to see her mate whos on holiday in a caravan about 10 mins up the road from us!! a flippin caravan!!

chrism

like the pics mate. Youve put a decent amount on mate since i saw u last.

Keep it going bud.

Glad im not the only one who gets 'moon face' when bulking !!! lol

LeeB

im more moon everywhere at the minute chris!! lol

Just out of interest Lee - how do you concentrate on the inner area of your rear quads. What exactly do you do when you're training them

LeeB

rear quads?? do you mean hamstrings??

basically when doing any hamstring movement you have 3 muscles your actually working... in any movement all 3 are worked to some degree.

a regular foot position would be to have your toes parell pointing forward... this hits the middle of the hamstring and the group of 3 overall..

if however you point your toes together whilst doing the movent (so heels are pointing outward).. this will shift the focus to your inner hamstring.

and if you do the opposite and put your heels together so that your toes are pointing out then this will shift the focus to the outer muscle.

obviously no matetr what your foot position the whole group of muscles is worked to some degree!

try it and see what you think! ive found its quite an easy muscle group to get the mind-muscle connection with too!
